Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a solar cell so thin that it can rest on top of a soap bubble without popping it. Though it is years away from being commercially viable, the development shows a new approach to making solar cells that could help power the next generation of portable electronics. The new process is described in a paper by MIT professor Vladimir Bulovic, research scientist Annie Wang, and doctoral student Joel Jean, in the journal Organic Electronics.
Bulovic, MIT's associate dean for innovation, said the key to the new approach is to make the solar cell, the substrate that supports it, and a protective overcoating to shield it from the environment, all in one process. The substrate is made in place and never needs to be handled, cleaned, or removed from the vacuum during fabrication, thus minimizing exposure to dust or other contaminants that could degrade the cell's performance.
In this initial proof-of-concept experiment, the team used a common flexible polymer called parylene as both the substrate and the overcoating, and an organic material called DBP as the primary light-absorbing layer. Parylene is a commercially available plastic coating used widely to protect implanted biomedical devices and printed circuit boards from environmental damage. The entire process takes place in a vacuum chamber at room temperature and without the use of any solvents, unlike conventional solar-cell manufacturing, which requires high temperatures and harsh chemicals. In this case, both the substrate and the solar cell are "grown" using established vapor deposition techniques.
The team emphasizes that these particular choices of materials were just examples, and that it is the in-line substrate manufacturing process that is the key innovation. Different materials could be used for the substrate and encapsulation layers, and different types of thin-film solar cell materials, including quantum dots or perovskites, could be substituted for the organic layers used in initial tests.
However, the researchers acknowledge that the cell may be too thin to be practical. "If you breathe too hard, you might blow it away," said Jean.
Generally, you don't want to walk towards the light. But researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign want their robots to do just that.
In a major step towards the use of robots in health, sensing and the environment, miniature robots have been equipped with muscle cells that have been genetically engineered to respond to light, allowing researchers to guide the bots' motion. The findings were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"Light is a noninvasive way to control these machines," Bashir said. "It gives us flexibility in the design and the motion. The bottom line of what we are trying to accomplish is the forward design of biological systems, and we think the light control is an important step toward that."
Bashir's group had previously experimented with bio-bots that were activated by an electrical field, but found that electricity can cause adverse side effects to a biological environment and does not allow for selective simulation of distinct regions of muscle to steer the bio-bot.
The researchers begin by growing rings of muscle tissue from a mouse cell line. The muscle cells have a gene added so that a certain wavelength of blue light stimulates the muscle to contract, a technique called optogenetics. The rings are looped around posts on 3-D-printed flexible backbones, ranging from about 7 mm to 2 cm in length. The team also experimented with exercising the muscle rings by triggering the muscle with a flashing light, which made them stronger and allowed the bots to move farther with each contraction.
Researchers at Seoul National University have developed an experimental wearable device that can literally take the pain out of managing diabetes and may lead to a new class of wearable medical devices.The wearable, made out of lightweight graphene, uses a patch to monitor blood sugar levels via sweat, and delivers the drug metformin through the skin with microneedles.
"Diabetics are reluctant to monitor their blood glucose levels because of the painful blood-gathering process," said study author Hyunjae Lee. "We highly focused on a noninvasive monitoring and therapy system for diabetics."
Currently, diabetics have two options for monitoring blood sugar levels. One option is a blood glucose monitor that requires the user to prick their finger to draw out blood for testing. The second option is continuous glucose monitoring, which involves the placement of a sensor underneath the skin and worn constantly. Both options are invasive and can be painful.
The patch can also measure pH, temperature, and humidity, which keeps an eye on how much sweat the user generates. That way, "the person who perspires heavily wouldn't affect the sensing," said Tae Kyu Choi, another study author from Seoul National University.
Researchers found the device was able to accurately measure blood sugar levels in humans, and tested the microneedles by delivering the diabetes drug metformin to mice. Insulin—the hormone necessary to lower blood sugar for people with type 1 diabetes—wasn't used because it's a protein that would be difficult to deliver through microneedles and is sensitive to the heating process that allows the drug to be delivered through the skin. However, should the wearable go forward in development, other drugs that can effectively lower blood sugar may be considered.
The findings were published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology and can be read athttp://bit.ly/1UAWGt7.
Iowa State University engineers have developed a new flexible, stretchable and tunable "skin" that uses rows of small, liquid-metal devices to cloak an object from the sharp eyes of radar. By stretching and flexing the polymer skin, it can be tuned to reduce the reflection of a wide range of radar frequencies."It is believed that the present meta-skin technology will find many applications in electromagnetic frequency tuning, shielding and scattering suppression," the engineers wrote in their paper, published in the journal Scientific Reports.
Liang Dong, associate professor; and Jiming Song, professor, were hoping to prove that electromagnetic waves – perhaps even the shorter wavelengths of visible light – can be suppressed with flexible, tunable liquid-metal technologies. What they came up with are rows of split ring resonators embedded inside layers of silicone sheets. The electric resonators are filled with galinstan, a metal alloy that's liquid at room temperature and less toxic than other liquid metals such as mercury.
Those resonators are small rings with an outer radius of 2.5 millimeters and a thickness of half a millimeter. They have a 1 millimeter gap, essentially creating a small, curved segment of liquid wire. The rings create electric inductors and the gaps create electric capacitors. Together they create a resonator that can trap and suppress radar waves at a certain frequency. Stretching the meta-skin changes the size of the liquid metal rings inside and changes the frequency the devices suppress.
Tests showed radar suppression was about 75% in the frequency range of 8 to 10 gigahertz, according to the paper. When objects are wrapped in the meta-skin, the radar waves are suppressed in all incident directions and observation angles. "Therefore, this meta-skin technology is different from traditional stealth technologies that often only reduce the backscattering, i.e., the power reflected back to a probing radar," the engineers wrote in their paper. The idea is that this meta-skin could one day coat the next generation of stealth aircraft.
As additive manufacturing (AM) evolves from rapid prototyping to the end-of-use product manufacturing process, manufacturing constraints have been largely alleviated and design freedom for part consolidation is extremely broadened. An AM-enabled part consolidation method promises a more effective way to achieve part count reduction and the ease of assembly compared with traditional Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) method. However, how to achieve AM enabled part consolidation is not well developed. In a paper authored by Sheng Yang, Yunlong Tang, and Yaoyao Fiona Zhao from McGill University, a new part consolidation method is proposed, characterized by two main modules. The first one is to achieve better functionality through surface-level function integration and sequential part-level function integration based on design specifications with an initial CAD model which is designed for conventional manufacturing process. The other module is to realize better performance through the introduction and optimization of heterogeneous lattice structures according to performance requirements. An example of a triple clamp is studied to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model.
The results include a part count reduced from 19 to 7 and a weight reduction of 20%, as well as better part performance. The paper was published in SME's Journal of Manufacturing Processes and can be read online here: http://tinyurl.com/PartConsolidation.

I am a Wannabee Quilter. I have done a few projects but after attending the Houston International Quilt Festival for 2 days, Oct 31-Nov 1, 2013 I REALLY realize that... I am STILL a Wannabee Quilter!!! I was blown away by all that I saw there & realize that I really haven't arrived yet!
My all-time favorite booth was the Flip la K. I was attending the Festival with my friend/quilt teacher & we were both AMAZED at what all the templates could do. We returned the next day to make our purchases from "Yan"?? ~ she was so much fun & goodness what a saleslady!!! ~ My teacher & I just about spent our whole WAD of $$$ there!!!! I do look forward to using my template purchases! NEAT, NEAT ideas!
I also am a church choir director, piano instructor & Pastor's wife. These keep me busy but I do find a wee bit of time to create new projects! ~ my "me" time.

Use this space to cheer the creator along, and talk to your fellow backers.
Have a question?
Oded Sharon 3-time creator on
Most of the extra rewards were already sent out to appropriate backers, I believe the art book will be ready in the next few months once the game's releases to some additional platforms.
I plan to also have it available on the various digital stores like Steam or Humble as DLC.
Rodney Lelah on
Thanks for the update Oded! There's no news in it though of when we can expect the other rewards promised for those backers who pledged at a higher level - art book etc. any news on that front?

Oded Sharon 3-time creator on
@roo this is the content for the first chapter, as we promised to deliver, on time - which we did - with the budget we had. We chose to have it listed as Early Access until the full multi-chapter game is released and then it will transition to full release. Almost all the reviews of people who played it are positive. We continue working on it (fixing bugs for an upcoming update) and focusing on marketing the first chapter so we can have the resources needed to work on Chapter 2 as well.

Thanks again everyone. I'm going to post an update tomorrow.
P.s. I totally did not know about that 24 hour thing. it's very interesting.
Corey Cole on
Congratulations, Oded. Looking forward to the game, and hope it earns enough so that you can make the rest of the chapters.
Criswell The Tiny Epic Weatherman on
Peet, KickStarter is (my opinion) more about faith in an idea/project than the product itself. As I aid,Oded is legally bound to deliver or refund.
C.J. on
Since watching the early stages of the Bolt Riley saga, it dawned on me that certain backer comments could be used as a learning tool for future KickStarter projects. Here are some suggestions for future tiers:
The "31K in 7 days not sure what you are thinking...... I'm thinking impossibility and stupidity.... No offence" tear.
The "3 days left and not even 10K" tear.
The "Campaign is way too short with three days left you should be in the 15-18K mark by now" tear.
The "big pledges are not going to happen sorry :(" tear.
The "you just got way too overconfident and too cocky" tear.
The "4 hours ? That is the shortest game ever lol" tear.
The "$32K in 7 days does put backers off. it has put me off pledging higher" tear.
The "I'm not trying to be an ass but i think you have over estimated how kickstarter works" tear.
The "i have seen 30-60 day campaigns start and finish with BIG FAT ZERO" tear.
The "And this Flappy Potato Salad crap is this you trying to make a mockery of what Kickstarter is about? you what i'm out" tear.
Den Där Peter on
congratulations to you Oded and of course all of us backers that now will be able to play this promising game. " I don't like reggae, I love it" :D
David Melanson on
My guess would be they put the whole "can't pull pledge in last 24 hours" policy because of trolls / griefers. Smart move on their part.
And hey...I think I just got comment #420!
PsychoDeli on
If I am honest, I do not have 100% faith in this project but I put some money towards it just because I would love to play this game.
I hope we get to do that :)
Best of luck Oded, I hope you deliver a great game :D
☜☆RSF☆☞ on
@Criswell. Correct. Once the project enters the final 24 hours of the KS campaign and reaches (or has reached) it's funding goal, a backer may only withdraw the full total of their pledge if it will mean the project still stays fully funded. For example, say you have a $10k pledge and the project is over funded by $7k with less than 24 hours to go, then you could in that case, only reduce your pledge down to $3k. Prior to that 24 hours you could have even cancelled your entire $10k pledge. You could of cause, continue to do small decreases for the remainder of your $3k pledge (whilst their is still time on the clock and other backers are adding to the overall total). Anyhow, you're right - it's not something we really ever want to see or do. ;)

Rx Drug Disposal Program
Last updated: Public Relations Specialist |
Since 2014, the Downers Grove Police Department has provided a program for residents to assist them in safely disposing of old prescription medications. Improper disposal of medications can pollute drinking water with toxic chemicals. Storing unused medications can pose other safety issues. It is estimated that each day 2,500 teenagers get high for the first time on unused drugs they find in medicine cabinets at home or at their grandparents' home. There are also incidents of accidental ingestion of these medications by children, the elderly or pets.
In order to eliminate the availability of unused prescription medications, Downers Grove residents may contact the Downers Grove Police Department Crime Prevention Unit and make an appointment to bring the prescription drugs into the police department for disposal. Residents may also request an appointment for a Crime Prevention Officer to come to their home to collect the medications.
The Downers Grove Police Department accepts prescription medication in pill form, only. We are unable to accept any over-the-counter medications or vitamins, liquid medications,or sharps (needles, EpiPens, lancets or other items used for home glucose monitoring). The following links will help you understand how to safely dispose of these items:
The prescription medications will subsequently be disposed of in accordance to the protocol followed for disposing of drugs being held in evidence. The method used is safe, will not threaten the drinking water, and eliminates the availability of the medications in our resident's homes.
Persons interested in participating in this program must make an appointment by contacting Crime Prevention Specialist Stacy Blaskovich at (630) 434-5641.

Art never dies. It has no expiry date. It's always in fashion… Art lives, evolves and is reinvented. This is what Equipo DRT has done for its new classic fabric collection called Palladio. It echoes and highlights some of the finest creations of this Italian architect (1508-1580). Palladio was adored by the nobility of the Republic of Venice in the 16th century, and admired by all for his superior geometries, symmetries and architectural wonders. Yes, Palladio designed many Italian villas in his age: Pisani, Foscari, Badoer, Emo… And these beautiful Italian masterpieces, five centuries later, are what Equipo DRT has skilfully transferred to a series of sophisticated and elegant fabrics for interiors.
Palladio is said to be the first classicist in modern architecture. He was the master who updated ancient Greek and Roman architecture and gave it the timeless beauty it still has today.
Inspired by his art and creativity comes the Palladio Collection from Equipo DRT. A new range of double-width upholstery fabrics being presented at the forthcoming Paris Maison&Objet Show in January 2015. This collection stands out for its large-scale geometrics and damasks, its ground-breaking bid for gold and silver lurex, in which metallised yarns are combined with natural colours, including greens, blues, golds, reds and mink.
Dim: 300 cm
65% Alg./Cot - 35% Pol
Palladio built a long barchessa (wing) to the Villa Pisani as service quarters around 1560. It could be called a lesser work, as it was not the central portion of the building, which was already a country patrician villa. But this is not the case. Its surface area was as large as the entire Piazza San Marco in Venice. Its floor plan includes a central building flanked by annexes, two towers and a façade facing the patio with a barrel vaulted T-shaped salone.
This architecture has now been transferred to textile design on our Pisani fabric, with an ornamental geometric design reminiscent of latticework. Its curved lines are combined with straight ends to convert it into a proposal based on lines, forms and geometries. A touch of elegance and sophistication that carries us away to the walls, floors and decoration of the extraordinary Villa Pisani in Bagnolo.

When I was contacted to do a photoshoot for for an extended family of 18 at the beautiful Phoenician Resort I was excited - when I found out it was to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary I was THRILLED. A celebration of love, tenacity and commitment - sounds like my kind of party. This family is full of characters, all good spirited and full of fun. They made my job very easy.
Lorna and Jim we are so loving and kind, they were very amused by the antics of their sons Jimmy and Garry (and really - who couldn't be amused by these two?). Their daughter Julie had organized the shoot, and from one detail-centric person to another - she did an amazing job! Their other daughter Cindy brought the magic with her two little ones, it's incredible how children bring so much light to a photo! We made sure to get individual family photos and lots of shots of the grandkids. It truly was a joyous day and I felt blessed to be a part of it.

It is less interesting who ``Joe Millionaire'' (Fox, 8 p.m.) chooses tonight in the series finale or what her reaction might be than what the ``final twist'' will be.
After all, Evan Marriott had already eliminated all the more interesting women weeks ago. The one chosen tonight deserves both his dim personality and the surprise that he's not really rich. Will they be disappointed?Oh, why should they be? Sarah has already admitted to an earlier career as star in a string of light bondage films. Zora, at 29, lists her occupation as ``substitute teacher.'' A few weeks' fling in the French countryside should be reward enough.

Yes. We do everything in our facility in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Do you supply fabric?
Our clients supply their own fabric but there are exceptions. In most cases it is best for designers to work directly with the fabric suppliers because it gives them control of the process and it saves time. Whenever needed we assist our clients with building those relationships.
What are your minimums?
Our services include everything from one-offs (prototypes, fit samples, etc) to large scale (10,000+ units/style) so we are able to accommodate any qty ordered.
Can you make patterns and/or grade them?
For clients that are in need of pattern work, we take a detailed look at their styles to determine if the pattern work can be done in-house or if a third-party pattern maker is needed. We work with a network of highly skilled pattern makers that we recommend to our clients.
What form of patterns can you work with?
Markers are preferred but we can also work with graded hard patterns.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept business checks, money orders, and certified checks.
Can you store fabric, trims and notions?
Yes. We have a 2,500 sq. ft. dedicated storage room.
What is your turnaround time?
In general, from the time that we have all materials needed we can complete sample orders in 1-2 weeks and production orders in 4-6 weeks depending on the quantity. Production should be scheduled as early as possible to ensure the fastest turnaround.
How can I get a price quote for my products?
Please send your sample(s) for us to review or schedule an appointment.
What are shipping options?
You can arrange for pick up or we can send them via your FedEx or UPS account.

Eurosilver primed for Foster
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Saturday would mark a very opportune time for Eurosilver to step up and maximize his considerable potential. As one of at least eight horses expected for the Grade 1 Stephen Foster Handicap at Churchill Downs next Saturday, Eurosilver will be trying to leapfrog into the upper echelon of the handicap division.
"He's got the attributes to do it," said Ian Wilkes, assistant to Eurosilver's trainer, Carl Nafzger. "Now he just needs to step up and do it."
Eurosilver had what Wilkes called a "great" five-furlong breeze here Thursday morning preparing for the $750,000 Foster Handicap, the 1 1/8-mile race that has evolved into the annual highlight of the post-Kentucky Derby segment of the Churchill spring meet. Wilkes's wife, Tracey, was aboard for the drill, which was completed in 59.20 seconds.
Eurosilver, now 4, has been considered a potential top horse since winning the Grade 1 Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland in the fall of his 2-year-old season. But an illness, followed by several disappointing races, have relegated him to a secondary position behind more accomplished horses in the handicap ranks.
Several of those highly regarded horses will be here for the Foster. Besides Eurosilver, the lineup also is expected to include Badge of Silver, Saint Liam, Perfect Drift, Second of June, Pollard's Vision, Colonial Colony, and M B Sea.
Wilkes said he believes Thursday's work shows Eurosilver is primed for a big effort and that he expects the colt to be "more focused" than he was when he finished fifth in his last start, the Pimlico Special on May 20.
The Foster will be one of five races televised by ESPN on the new Emirates Airline Super Saturday series. The two-hour broadcast starts at 5 p.m. Eastern and also will include the Fleur de Lis from Churchill.
Romero able to exercise horses
They don't come any more resilient than Randy Romero. A former jockey, the 47-year-old Romero is back riding horses, albeit as an exercise rider, and in spite of a litany of physical woes that surely would dispirit a less determined soul.
Romero recently began exercising horses for trainer Dallas Stewart, who years ago worked as Romero's valet. Romero said he walked hots for Stewart for about a month before deciding he wanted to ride again. Friday at Churchill, Romero breezed three horses and galloped another.
Romero has been ailing for several years with kidney and liver disease. He still undergoes four-hour dialysis treatments three times a week.
"I started going to the gym in January to get fit again," said Romero. "I couldn't just keep staying in the house. I want to be outside, doing what I love to do. I love to get on horses."
Romero, who rode 4,285 winners, said he hopes to accompany the Stewart stable to the Saratoga meet that begins July 27.
Nearly a four-way dead heat
The finish of the eighth race Thursday was so close and so frantic that even Churchill announcer Luke Kruytbosch gave off an audible chuckle as four horses hit the wire together.
"I don't remember ever having four finish that close together," said Kruytbosch, an 18-year veteran race-caller.
Mon Cabo was first by a nose over Modern Marvel, who beat Mark of Perfection by a nose for second, who beat Speed of Funny by a nose for third.
Asmussen eager for test results
Trainer Steve Asmussen said Friday that state veterinary officials informed him that blood test results for his horses in Barn 38 at Churchill were scheduled to be completed by Saturday morning. The Asmussen horses have been under quarantine for the equine herpes virus since May 17.
Asmussen had two horses entered Friday. Storm Jazz was allowed to run in the fifth race because she is based at Keeneland, but My Extolled Honor, the program favorite in the 10th, was forced to scratch because he is stabled in Barn 38.
Horses in two other Churchill barns cleared quarantine last weekend after all tested negative for the virus. The Asmussen horses have been further detained because four tested positive in a round of tests taken around June 1. Those four since have been segregated from the 32 horses who remain in Barn 38.
* Churchill has announced that prerace testing for alkalizing agents will resume, effective immediately, albeit on a random basis. Before the May 17 quarantine went into effect, all horses were subject to those tests on race day. Churchill has said it will resume race-day tests for all horses when all quarantine restrictions have been lifted.
* Jockey Mark Guidry was absolved of wrongdoing Friday when he met with the Churchill stewards to review videotape of his ride aboard Goodoldsouthernboy in the third race Wednesday.

5 Secrets to Crushing the Ball
By PRO Ball Coaches
Clear the 'clutter' and see how the PRO's do it.
Fill in the Form for a FREE Download
by Jamie
I need help in dealing with parent anxiety! I feel literally nauseous when my son plays baseball. I try very hard not to embarrass him so I remain calm and supportive outwardly but inside I can't take it!
He is on a very competitive travel team and there is a huge emphasis on winning because the club has a "Rep" to uphold.
My son is a good player probably better than most but certainly not elite and he is only 10!
What are your thoughts? He wants a future in this sport and I want to help him the best I can if that's what he wants. I just don't want to have a nervous breakdown in the process! Thanks!
First, try not to put all your emphasis on performance. Focus on the effort put forth, the good things that happen and by all means do not praise only when good things happen.
Baseball looks very easy to play from the bleachers. Believe me it is not easy. The beauty of baseball is its difficulty level.
You have to realize that there will be much adversity, bad plays, boo-boos, strikeouts and pop ups along the way. The fact that the game brings so much failure makes the game a great humbling life lessons building experience.
That is why you don't need to put all the focus on performance because you are going to be disappointed. The game of baseball is just too difficult to play perfect and flawlessly.
Second: When looking at the coaching approach and coaching philosophy you want to see what the views are on winning. Is it a win-at-all-costs approach?
Or do they want to develop ballplayers for the long haul with winning as a little less of a priority. I would avoid the win-at-all-costs baseball teams and coaches especially at 10 years old.
Unfortunely the adults bring an ownership to winning the games by wanting to win like a major league baseball team. This is very shortsighted and not conducive to a healthy your baseball experience for the baseball kids and the baseball families.
Having a huge emphasis on winning at 10 years old is counterproductive to developing baseball players. There is just no reason for except for the parents egos.
Third: Players 12 years
If your kid reaches 13 or 14 and has a burning desire for the game and is athletic enough to survive these years then you might look at some travel opportunities if the local leagues are limited.
Believe me, contrary to baseball parents belief there are no college and professional scouts at 10 and 12 year old travel tournaments.
Travel ball is overkill and mostly driven by the adults again who talk themselves into having to stay up with the Jones. If you do play travel ball you better find out what the coaching approach is about the topic of winning and playing time (practice time too). Most travel teams do very little practice, too.
Fourth: I don't know where you live but plan to take a trip to Cooperstown with your kid. Spend plenty of time there especially at the exhibits from the older days of baseball and Jackie Robinson's era.
Walk down the streets to all the little memorabilia shops and food outlets. Go by the old Doubleday Field ballpark. Take your kid on a trip to a major league game and some minor league games.
Build a love for the game and realize your kid really just wants to hang out with you. It doesn't always have to be in the environment of a win-at-all-cost baseball tournament.
Remember: Let the kids play all the sports. Specializing is unnecessary.
Remember that the stats tell us that 75% of youth sports kids drop out by age 14. Not many players will ever reach the high school baseball level much less college or professional baseball.
You have to be pretty athletic to make it through the gauntlet of age 13 and 14 where the field gets bigger. Players cannot run fast enough, throw hard enough or hit it far enough to play the game effectively at this age level.
Most kids quickly throw in the towel and try other things. Rarely does a kid come out the other side of age 14 still standing with a baseball uniform. The ones who survive are the better athletes mainly.
So, don't fret over the game. We know it is hard. We know it will be extremely tough to survive past age 14.
Build a love for the game with your children—and find ways to spend time with your kids away from the baseball field. That's why they built bowling alleys.

Increasing Preference for Cloud Computing to Create Lucrative Opportunities for Cognitive Computing
The advent of cognitive computing has created a stir across the world by delivering exceptional business and societal benefits to end users by harnessing computational processing and automating tabulation. According to Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global market for cognitive computing is anticipated to witness tremendous rise over the coming years. The market's opportunity, which was worth US$29.67 bn in 2016, is projected to rise at an exponential CAGR of 49.90% between 2017 and 2025 and attain a value of US$1,000.52 bn by the end of 2025.
What are the key factors that are shaping the performance of global cognitive computing market?
The increasing adoption of cloud-based computing has surfaced as the key driving force behind the growth of the global market for cognitive computing. The rising deployment of this technology in the healthcare sector, on account of the bolstering amount of unstructured data, is also boosting this market substantially.
On the other hand, the difficulties faced by a number of cognitive technology companies in gaining pilot stage funds for research and development may act as a restrain for this market in the years to come. However, the escalating demand for next generation cognitive data centers will create lucrative opportunities for the market players over the forthcoming years.
How are the geographical segments performing in the global cognitive computing market?
Geographically, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, South America, North America, and Europe have surfaced as the prime segments of the worldwide market for cognitive computing. Among these regional markets, North America acquired the leading position in 2016, thanks to the high deployment rate of cognitive computing techniques across educational institutions and various small- and medium-scale enterprises.
With the reduced burden of hardware deployment and maintenance in organizations, thanks to the advancements in the technology, this regional market is anticipated to continue on the topmost position over the next few years. The Middle East and Africa, however, is likely to present more lucrative growth prospects in the near future due to the increasing usage of cognitive computing in infrastructure management applications. Asia Pacific is also projected to experience an exemplary rise with the cyber security application emerging as one of the leading end user of cognitive computing in Asia Pacific in the years to come.
Browse The Press Release : http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/pressrelease/cognitive-computing-market.htm
What are the popular business strategies among players in the global cognitive computing market?
The most popular strategy adopted by companies in this market are the expansion of the product portfolio to strengthen their position and the mergers, acquisitions, and strategic alliances to minimize competition in the market.
With only a few established players, such as Cisco Systems Inc., Google Inc., Microsoft Corp., IBM Corp., and Accenture Inc., the competition within the global market for cognitive computing is somewhat on the lower side. The scenario will remain so over the coming years in spite of the increased venturing of start-ups due to the significant rise in the consumer demand.

A Smoke-Free Fireplace
Keeping smoke out of the house
A survey of households that use wood for heating showed that a large majority of users had experienced smoke spillage from their systems at least once. These episodes of smoke spillage can be reduced or eliminated through good system design and proper appliance operation.
The spicy smell of wood smoke in the air on a cold winter evening can be pleasant. But the smell of wood smoke inside your home is a sign that the wood-burning system is not functioning properly.
The smoke contains harmful air pollutants which can be irritating or even dangerous in high concentrations. Properly designed, installed and operated wood-burning systems do not spill smoke into the house. There are four main reasons why some wood-burning systems smoke:
Bad system design: There are design characteristics that can make a wood-burning system more likely to spill smoke. Most of these characteristics result in low flue temperatures and low draft.
For example, chimneys that run up the outside wall of the house can rob the heat from the exhaust and produce very little draft. Long flue pipe assemblies allow too much heat to be given up before the gases reach the chimney. Each elbow in the flue pipe assembly slows down the flow of gases and causes a small restriction to flow. When an assembly includes more than one elbow, the restriction can be enough to cause spillage. Appliances installed in basements have to work against the slight negative pressure normally found at low levels of the house.
This negative pressure is caused by the tendency of the house air, which is warm relative to outside, to rise just as the hot gases in the chimney tend to rise. The stack effect caused by the buoyant warm air produces slightly negative pressure in the basement and slightly positive pressure at high levels of the house. Any one of these problem characteristics is not usually enough to cause smoke spillage on its own. However, when, for example, an outside chimney is combined with a long flue pipe assembly with several elbows and serves an appliance located in a basement, it is almost certain that smoking will be difficult to avoid.
Extreme negative pressure in the house: Energy efficiency practices and new building code rules are making our houses more and more air tight. This makes the houses energy efficient, but also makes them more sensitive to Re-pressurization when air is exhausted from the house. Large, fan-forced exhaust ventilators, like down-draft-type kitchen stove exhausts, can cause extreme negative pressure in the house when they are operating. Because new houses are tightly sealed, there are few holes to allow replacement air to enter, and the house pressure becomes negative.
This negative pressure works against chimney draft. In severe cases, the chimney draft is overcome by the negative pressure in the house and the appliance begins to spill smoke, especially when a fire is started or when it dies down to coals. To prevent this extreme Re-pressurization, one option is to link a large exhaust ventilator to a make-up air system which forces air into the home to replace the exhausted air. Contact your wood heat retailer or heating contractor for details.
Improper appliance firing technique: When a wood fire is starved for air it smolders, producing a relatively cool, smoky fire. The temperatures throughout the system are low. During a smoldering fire, the chimney will not be receiving the hot gas it needs to produce strong draft. When the appliance loading door is opened, smoke will spill into the room. A smoldering fire is the single most common reason for smoke spillage. By using the suggestions on proper firing technique later in this booklet, you will be able to avoid these smoldering fires.
The "Cold-Back draft-at-Standby" syndrome: Many people who heat with wood have experienced this: they go to the basement to build a fire in the wood stove and when they open the door to put in the newspaper and kindling, they are greeted by a blast of cold air. When they light the kindling, the smoke comes into the room instead of up the chimney. This is the cold-back draft-at-standby syndrome. Although this reverse flow can be caused by negative pressure in the house produced by the operation of a powerful exhaust ventilator like a kitchen exhaust, it is most often the combined effect of an outside chimney and a basement appliance location.
Here's how it works. When there is no fire in the appliance, the air in the chimney cools to the outside temperature and the chimney produces no draft whatsoever. The very slight negative pressure in the basement caused by stack effect in the house is enough to pull the air down the chimney and out through any openings in the stove. Homeowners who have installations that are susceptible to the syndrome have found ways to get the fire started successfully. They will either open a basement window to relieve the negative pressure, or light some newspaper in the base of the chimney to get enough heat into the flue to produce some draft.
However, these techniques only mask the problem, they do not correct it. If you never want to experience the cold-back draft-at-standby syndrome, don't combine an outside chimney and basement stove location in your installation plans. Systems made up of an outside chimney serving an appliance on the main floor, or a stove located in the basement served by a chimney that runs up the inside of the house will not usually experience the syndrome. But, the combination of outside chimney and basement appliance will almost always suffer the cold-back draft-at-standby syndrome.

£645.00 per person sharing a room.
£100.00 Single room supplement.
Getting There:
Arrival: From Santiago de Compostela – take a bus to Lugo (this bus also stops at the airport but you are not guaranteed a place and it is sometimes full by the time it arrives. The journey is nearly 1h30 to Lugo. From Lugo you take a bus to Sarria – approx. 1 hour. You may need to wait for a connection so this can be a long journey.
By Air: Fligths to Santiago from many places including London Stansted and Dublin, from where we can arrange a taxi to Sarria (approximate cost 85 euro for 2 people). The airline Veuling has daily flights from London Heathrow to La Corunna. There is a bus connection to Sarria via Lugo.
We can book a taxi – cost is £85.00 (up to 3 people) payable to World Walks. For larger groups please ask.
Your luggage is transferred from accommodation to accommodation every day.
Pilgrim passport:
This can be obtained from shops, tourist information and churches in Sarria.
Day 1:
Arrive and overnight in Sarria, a modern town with old quarter.
Day 2:
Walk Sarria – Portomarin. 14.5 miles/23.2kms.
The walk between Sarria and Portomarin is one of the quietest and most peaceful of the Camino. During the summer there are plenty of places for lunch and drinks along the way. Overnight in Portmarin
Day 3:
Walk Portomarin – Palas de Rei 15.5 miles/24.8kms.
There are several miles of road walking along this stretch but the roads are quiet and you pass through some small villages – i.e. the Romanesque Church of Santa Maria in Gonzar is 5 miles into the walk. There is a lovely Galician cemetery church in Ligonde which is about another 3 miles. Overnight in Palas de Rei
Day 4:
Walk Palas de Rei – Melide 9 miles/15kms.
The route takes you to Melide – this is a pleasant town with a former monastery Church Sancti Spiritu, along with a pilgrim hospital and the Church of San Pedro and the church of Santa Maria as you leave the town.
Day 5:
Walk Melide – Arzua 8 miles/13.9kms.
Leave behind the bustling Melide and cross several shallow river paths before winding through shaded forest, oak and chestnut giving way to eucalyptus and pine.Arrive in Arzua, the last major centre before Santiago and known as well for its haphazard layout as its cheese production.
Day 6:
Walk Arzua – Arca O Pino 11 miles/19kms.
Leave Arzua through the old quarter of the town and along alternating tracks and country lanes. Pass through a number of small hamlets and enter Arca O Pino where you will overnight.
Day 7:
Walk Arca O Pino – Lavacolla 6 miles/9 kms.
The route continues to the small village of Lavacolla where traditionally pilgrims used to cleanse themselves before the final walk into Santiago de Compostela. Overnight Lavacolla (This walk can be shortened by spending the night in Arca do Pino (making the walk 12.5 miles/20 kilometres to Arca) instead of Lavacolla and the last day's walk into Santiago is then 12.5 miles/20 kilometres).
Day 8:
Walk Lavacolla – Santiago 7.5 miles/12kms.
The last day's walk is short so pilgrims can arrive in the Plaza de Obradoiro and enter the Cathedral by midday when the pilgrims are blessed. Overnight Santiago (dinner not included)
Day 9:
The tour ends after breakfast.

As someone who has never gone, how I imagine Black Friday shopping – reddit repost
I like when the chick in back throws her baby.
It's every man for himself in there.
and woman
And baby.
and my axe!
And blackjack!
And hookers!
Honestly, this only happens in wal-mart, but the real question about black friday is; of all places, WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE ACT LIKE THIS AT FUCKING WAL-MART
As someone who worked at Toys R Us, I refute your claims.
As someone that's worked Black Friday at Blockbuster, Target, Home Depot, and CompUSA, I can also refute that claim. For the record, Target was the worst of them. Saw middle-aged women shoving each other out of the way, running each other over with shopping carts, sprinting for the toy department so they could load their carts…kids screaming and crying all over the place, people snatching toys right out of children's hands…as I was leaving (I worked 3rd shift so I was leaving as the insanity was starting) I even had to help rebuild an endcap that customers had literally separated from the aisle itself which then collapsed and fell over, which the customers of course just started climbing over to get to whatever the hell plastic piece of crap they'd been camping out front for 6 hours for. CompUSA did it right the last year they were open. We printed up vouchers for every product in our ad, exactly the amount we had in stock, went outside, and handed them out, starting with the first person in line, before we even opened the doors. That was the best Black Friday I ever experienced. We let them in a few dozen people at a time, who filed right to the register, handed their voucher over, paid for their shit, and picked it up as they were walking out the door. No pushing and shoving, no altercations…the only grumbling was out of the people at the end of the line outside that were royally pissed off that we did the whole voucher thing in the first place, probably because they figured they'd just bum-rush the place like they do everywhere else on Black Friday. Anywho, best Black Friday ever. Wish more places would do something like that, because it's not like the people that are camping out want to shop, 99% of the time, they know exactly what they want days before they even get in line after Thanksgiving dinner.
I imagine this.
This is FAR more accurate…god damn.
What in the wide wide world of fuck!?
From what I can gather with my extremely limited knowledge of Spanish (mostly my ability to see numbers) some store was selling 50 inch HDTVs for $299.

horse has unfortunatly just been diagnosed with arthritis in her two hind hocks today quite by accident to it was a shock as she went to the vets regarding a puncture wound she did last week was supposed to be a quick checkup however thats horses for you.
Vet says lameness is extremly low at the moment took him a while to decide she actually was xrays revealed slight changes in the hocks but nothing horrendous he said so his advice was once puncture wound was healed to inject cortisone into two joints in both hocks. he said with how she is now he expects it will take well and she should be quite happy in continuing a competition life (dressage and showing).
My questions are; how long should i expect them to last realistically ( his answer was each horse is different some go 18 months some go one some show no improvement), does insurance pay for them after the original claim ie : after 12 months will i need to pay for subsequent injections as i assume they wont pay out a new claim as its 'pre existing'. Has anyone any thing else to try for help maintain the joints such as oils exercises etc.
I have no previous experience with arthritis so will be grateful of all information directed at me.

Epic Tiu-lah situation
I am not usually the type of belogger that would usually post about events like these, as one of my buddy with his all sorts of highly tiu-able situations, but seeing it's high entertainment value and to share my tiu situation with you which I am very eager, I decide to write this down. And also to compete in a way the epic tiu-ness we as humans face in day-to-day life.
As some of you might now I am now in the dreaded K-Hell and the Khrlang valley to continue with my paper chasing education. So naturally, I have to find a new place to stay, as it is quite a distance to travel from my family house to school, 35 minutes without jam, RM 3.20 one-way. I'd rather find a place to stay than to waste time driving on the road.
And so the saga begins (to quote the wise woman- to refer to my newly re-discovered road rage).
I am looking for houses at Kajang area, specifically at Sungai Chua near TLS-developed Taman Sepakat area. There was the more-expensive Sri Camellia and Sri Cempaka and the contemporaries, and there are also 5- storeyed low-cost block houses. That made up the two main categories of houses in the area by the same developer- and then there are Taman Sepakat 2 with Lavender, Dahlia and other apartments which the rental in the RM 700- RM 1,000++ region. More info on the properties later, for those who might benefit from it. (Edited: ON a second thought, I will release the info once I secure my living place first- so that you buggers don't mess with my search and price negotiation). (I've got my place already! Moving in on the 15th)
One thing tht one will notice at Kajang is the vast amount of illegally put up ads (plywood stencilled with handphone no.) offering Lori Sewa. This is the first time I see illegal ads offering different product outdoing the financial service provided by Big Ear Hole (Tai Yee Long aka Ah Long) in guerrilla advertising. A single street light pole or tree trunk would easily have at least 5 of these. At least I know if I need any major transporting, I can have these ad-thugs to rely on.
I took a few days surveying the area, going from block to block to look for no in the "To Let/Sale" ads. I was specifically looking for those handwritten ones- so that I could deal with the real owner rather than incentive hungry agents. I viewed one house on the day itself, the rent was cheap- RM 300 for the whole unit but it was on the highest floor (which I dislike for security reasons) and the house was stomach churning.
After the first day on the (real estate) field, I have a handful numbers and a rough idea of the prices. At the block houses you can get as low as RM 300, but that usually for the top floor which are usually eerily quiet at night, making it an attractive place for criminals, till maybe RM 500 the most, because more than that I am sure people will opt for Sri Camellia type instead.
OK enough about the house hunt.
So later I call one of the number – handwritten ad in front of a unit- to view the house and later to discuss the rentals, T&C's and whatnots. The guy who answer asked me to call another number instead, the 'one who can decide on things'. I called and a Chinese woman answered. She tell me the basics- the rent etc etc and I gave her some of my details. I already tried to negotiate the price- she asked for RM 450 and later would only budge till RM 420. Nevermind, I tell myself, I will negotiate once I see her face-to-face. We set the time for the house viewing on the subsequent call.
I went with Jo and passed by another unit on the second floor on the same block to be rented out. I briefly call the number to check on how much the owner charge- this is another handwritten notice- even more low-tech than some computer typed and printed ones- better in my opinion and which later proven to be true. I walked up and saw the woman, who I presumed the one I talked to on the phone previously ( I later found out her name, which rhyme with Frauline, lets call her F for convenience). Other than her, there was a guy- presumably her husband with two kindergarten age kids. There was another guy behind the door, fixing the door knob aided with some man tools and get all manly sweaty who called F 'Sis' in Cantonese (we call him 'bro' after this)
I viewed the house briefly as I have seen another unit in the same block before, so I basically know how it looks like. This apartment is well maintained and the walls are generally clean, though the floor was just cement surfaced. While I was viewing she goes on talking about how her previous tenants, all six of them, have been keeping the house in a good condition and the walls Aryan white and how she expect me to be the same. She said that should I mess the walls in anyway (the word she use literally was: 'draw' in Cantonese, which has no second meaning), she would not hesitate to skim some money from my deposit. Ok, first show of the tooth.
Went in to one of the room and the bro was pointing out the latch on the sliding window, saying "Ok, I noted this, it is not you who ruin this" and F later did not let the opportunity slip, no siree, and promptly said, "You see, I didn't even charge them for this". How kind of her. Kembanngggg telinga aku mendengarnya. She didn't realise cheap materials wear and tear real fast, especially those used in a lowcost house like hers.
I start to talk about price and told her how I called the house downstairs and they told me it's going for rent for only RM 400 and asked her to reduce her price. She was outraged- that we have discussed over the phone and that as if I have cheated her or something,: "But we have discussed! I have already count you cheap! It's only because you told me you're a student and that you are staying alone that I reduce the price! Don't tell me that you come all the way her to see the house and wants to talk about the mere RM 20."
It is because I have driven that far that I want to calculate the RM 20, I said, I am already sincere in driving so far. There is no way she would reduce the price anymore, stating her house as if it's a mansion when I am pretty sure, she didn't even do anything to it: there are no other fixtures, literally an empty house with whatever stock part that came with it. She even have the nerve to say this: "By letting the house to you for RM 420, I am SUFFERING A LOSS, do you know how much I have to pay the installment for the house? RM 500++ you know!"
Of course yours truly's blood is boiling at this point, I mean, excuse my English, What the FUCK do you think? You get a FUCKING house in the end, how do you suffer a loss again? You think it is my FUCKING responsibility to pay for your fucking installment?
Then another shit about money.
I told that I wanted to start as early as possible, which she say OK, but I have to charge you full month, though it was already the end of first week of the month. At this point I didn't say anything yet. At this time, 'bro' went on mediating the volatile situation by telling F, "Sis, why don't you pass the young man the keys first, so that he could slowly move some things in" and which she look at him fiercely saying "CANNOT DO LIKE THAT! AS LONG AS THE AGREEMENT IS NOT DONE, I CANNOT PASS THE HOUSE TO HIM!". (And, oh yeah, according to her, the agreement also need to be stamped, which will cost RM 10, which would be paid by ME. She told me how she saved me RM 25 by doing the agreement herself rather than hiring people doing it. How kind of her. Kembangggggg telinga aku mendengarnya..).
And then she figured that she needs time to do her agreement, then she ask for a week or so, so, fine with me. And we decided around 13th, since it's Sunday and guess what guess what? She wanna charge me for the two days (13th + 14th +1/2 month rent). WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK? At this point the hubby who has been sitting on the sideline all these while, finally make heard his beautiful voice singing to the wife,"Why the HELL do you need to be so calculative?". She retaliate and I am sure that there would be some follow up domestic drama once at home.
To cap the whole saga in a sweet note, she have the fucking nerve to ask for another money payment: "Urm, do you want to pay some money as deposit? You know, say if starting today till the 13th if someone else want to rent this house I MIGHT rent it out to them rather than you if you do not pay the deposit. Kembangggg telinga aku mendengarnya. She couldn't pass me the house early and then require me to pay deposit to 'booking' the house. I just told her No. I don't want to pay it, if you want, you can rent to others, I seriously don't give a Pokemon's ass.
Everything that has been discussed is always for her convenience sake. Even picking up keys have to suit all her time, I told her this Sunday I couldn't as I would be at Penang and later in the evening have to go to the airport and could only get in at night around 8 till 9 pm. She went rudely and asked me in a raised voice "What time you leave from Penang?", like what the fuck right, if I can I would told you I could. Then she went on of it being too late and all sorts of shit. I said OK, I don't fucking know any road at Ampang, but would go your fucking place anyway, and she still wants to make grouses and shit about being late and how she needs to work. Like I have been swinging my set of balls all year and expected her to swing her tits.
OK, this post takes too much of my energy.
The point is, for any landlords, print this post out and send it to your ungrateful tenants to read (note also the Endnote below for extra impact). Of how they are so lucky to have YOU, yes YOU as their landlord. And ask them to pay the outstanding rent. And yeah, the outstanding deposits too, if any. To all future tenants, don't be as dumb ass like me, walk off, there is no point to rent from people like this. You won't live in the house in peace. If you don't like them, don't rent from them- renting a house is like establishing a relationship- if in the beginning it doesn't look good, the relationship is best not pursued.
Some people are so horrible. I came and start the conversation jokingly and in a light-hearted manner and all that came from her mouth was distrusts and greed, eventhough I took the first pacifying and good-relation clause of building a economic relationship base on trust and informalities. She just want to make life miserable. Poor soul must be abused as a child or something. I don't know what is wrong with her. Oh how I miss Sarawak.
As promised, some contact numbers here if you are looking for a house in the Kajang Taman Sepakat (1 and 2) area, which is about 20 minutes from UKM and about half an hour to UNITEN or KLIUC, and a bit more to UPM. Appreciate this, I sweated like a pig looking for these numbers from house to house, apartment blocks to apartment blocks, phone calls after phone calls. Some extra info inserted if it helps, I don't believe in what race landlord is good and what not, just fucking people. F is my own fucking race, look how well we communicated. I rent 2 houses in the past from Malay landladies (yes both owner are female) here and at Sarawak and none gave me any shit. I exclude F number below to save your ass. All numbers are (suspected) real estate agents, unless written otherwise.
Sri Camellia
1) 017 212 5439 Prioritise Middle East students, said he would do it student-style (which I presume basic furniture- bed, study table etc etc). RM 550 per month for the whole house
2) Lisa Ng 019 328 4722, RM 500 per month, available 20th July, not furnished.
3) Johari 012 378 2975, RM 500 per month, saw this no on 7Eleven notice board, when I call he ask me to call back. Very entrepreneur don't you think? Maybe own house.
Sri Raya
1) Annie 017 282 1540, RM 700, sounds VERY furnished, sofa & coffee table), TV, beds in every room, aircond (this one I saw outside the building). Chinese owner.
Sri Dahlia
1) 012 323 6211, RM 1,200 per month, FULLY furnished
5-storey block houses (Taman Sepakat 1)
1) Selva 017 267 4429 (management office guy, this number should be quite handy), I viewed a house with him, RM 300 ONLY (cheapest in it's category) but the house need extra cleaning up, owner agree to install grill if there is serious tenant. Contact Selva if you want
Other Random numbers I called and noted down, could be any of the apartments above that I did not note down, but if you are desperate.. I guess it helps:
012 602 4833
012323 6211
012 303 7762
Chee, 016 2041 383, Agent for 5-storey blocks
Ken, 012 278 5268, Agent for 5-storey blocks
Yap, 012 631 7335, Agent for 5-storey blocks
012 219 3784 Dahlia Apartment, 2nd Floor (advertised at 7Eleven)
Good luck
Disclaimer: Nak tolong orang pun kena ada penafian. OK, all the number listed above is what I get from doing my house hunting at Kajang Taman Sepakat 1 & 2 areas. Call at you own risk, I would not be responsible if you have been scammed or treated harmfully (or subjected to verbal abuse like what I had gone through). Hope it helps you, I gain nothing by listing this, but just hope would benefit all of you out there.
ENDNOTE: Owh yeah, the area (maybe also other areas in Klang Valley, I don't know) have this system they call 2+1. Which basically means 2 month house rent deposit and RM 200 deposit each for both electricity and water bills, up front, together with the rent of the month you are moving in. Make sure you have the amount.

If you say "Christmas tree" to me or utter the words "Christmas decorations" I immediately become like a 5-year-old and see lights in my mind. I see twinkly, sparkly, dazzling colorful lights all around me. This is one of my most favorite things – the lights at Christmas time. The other night I turned off every lamp, plugged in the Christmas tree lights and watched a PBS Christmas special with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the Sesame Street Muppets and a whole host of talented young artists.
As I melted into the music and wonderful silliness of the Muppets, I could see myself in the pictures being painted by the lyrics of every song. I could feel the Christmas story come alive. I imagined the warm lights of decorations on the streets and houses, the fireplaces glowing in windows, and a million stars up above smiling down on my world.
All this light, everywhere present rescuing me from darkness, like a beacon of hope for tomorrow. Is this not the ancient thread that keeps the Christmas story alive? The light during the longest, darkest night of the year?
The lights I see all around me decorating houses, trees, sweaters, fireplaces and more are made up of a myriad of colors – the colors of life. Yet I also have to remember that light and dark are the colors of my life. I am never all light or all dark – in fact, it is the opposite. Life is the exchange, the dance, the dialogue, the interpreter between these two. Christmas is another invitation for me to expand my ability to read and understand the language and interplay of light and dark.
The archetype of light is as old as humankind. Thousands of years before Jesus was born, the return of the sun from the winter solstice was celebrated as re-birth in many cultures. Oftentimes the stories of the return of the sun included the birth of a divine child. In the mid 4th century, Pope Julius adopted the Roman winter solstice festival, "Birthday of the Unconquered Sun," and in time it became the Christian birthday of "the son," making December 25th a symbol of hope for things to come, a light in the darkness.
Light is an ancient archetypal symbol, imprinted on my consciousness from ancient times. Imagine for a moment how our ancestors experienced light – in many ways, vastly different from today. They would have had no artificial lighting, not even candles until very recently in human history. Nighttime would have been darker than I can even imagine, so dark that they would have seen heavenly bodies I can only dream of in my sleep. My own hand would not have been visible if I held it only inches from my face.
Our ancestors knew night and darkness in ways I can probably never know, and so the light became the guarantee that life would continue, as you saw the sun peaking over the horizon. Dark and light have become my constant companions – the colors of my life. In the darkness I can't see, I stumble and fall, I may even lose my way. It is here I am most afraid – where things go bump in the night. Yet this journey of dark is earth's life cycle, with winter and darkness going hand-in-hand with the dawning of a new day.
Is it any wonder that light has come to mean so much to me? Is it any wonder that I yearn for the rich and beautiful language of light – luminous, blazing, glowing, illuminating, radiant, sparkling twinkling, shining, brilliant, awakening, enlightened… Light is deep within me as the symbol of what is most sacred, divine and alive, that which is waiting to be birthed. The Christ pattern of light alive as me, waiting to come forth into the world. This is the Christmas story.
What has been in the dark, we bring forth into the world, integrating it, and emerging with a renewed sense of wholeness, a renewed sense of hope. We emerge more bright and shiny, as a new life that is a lamp unto the world, healing ourselves, healing others, uplifting and empowering every person desiring light in their darkest days.
Christmas is not about one child coming into human form 2,000 years ago. It is about the embodiment of awe, wonder, love and light in fleshy form. I am that fleshy, humanness of light. YOU are that fleshy, humanness of light. Have we become immune to this embodiment? Have we forgotten the divinity of our own humanity – those precious colors of life?
KNOW THIS: You are the dawn after the longest, darkest night. You are the splendor peaking its face over the horizon each morning. You are the vivid, colorful eternal source of hope during the darkest moments in our world. You rise more gloriously, resplendent, dazzling and brilliant than the flaming, fiery sun each morning – showing light, new birth and new life to those who wait in the darkness of their own obscure nights. You are the infinite possibility shining down on us, lighting my path – like the stars at night have done since the beginning of time.
